If you have struggled to find effective therapy and regulate your emotions I may be the therapist for you. I have a strong passion for intersectionality, trauma, minority experience, and people underserved or poorly served by our mental health systems. I am most interested working with folks at one of the intersections of LGBTQIA+ identity, neurodivergence, and trauma providing respectful, culturally humble and non-judgmental care.
I work from an emotion regulation framework, that many of the difficulties people face stem from ineffective regulation of their emotions. I primarily use Dialectical Behavior Therapy. My core guiding principle in therapy is that all behavior makes sense in context, and if I do not understand you then I must be missing context.
I want to meet you where you are at and there is nothing more important. You are an expert in your life and I will never know as much about you as you do. I want to listen to your story, understand your struggles, and create a safe relationship where you can work on the change you want to see in yourself.

I work primarily with folks who are some combination of LGBTQ, Neurodivergent, and/or Traumatized. I work with my clients to improve their stability and help them build a life worth living. This often involves exploring where clients may have skills gaps or ineffective coping skills and using the framework of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to identify effective alternatives.

I use primarily Dialectical Behavior Therapy in my work with clients and I have 2 guiding assumptions: that all behavior makes sense in context, and that clients are doing the best they can with what they have. My therapeutic style focuses focuses on emotions, behaviors, and barriers to change in a validating environment where your experiences are believed and your assumptions are challenged.
